ROME - Rome already is the home of the Atlanta Braves' Class A affiliate and the Rome Gladiators of the World Basketball Association. <br>
<br>
Now, the northwest Georgia city is adding professional football to the mix. <br>
<br>
Oscar Dillard, part owner of the Oklahoma Crude indoor football team, announced Thursday that he will move the team to Rome next season. <br>
<br>
The team is part of the National Indoor Football League and will begin play here next March. <br>
<br>
Although some paperwork has to be completed before the move becomes official, Dillard signed a letter of intent yesterday with The Forum, which will host the team's home games.
